Autumn lingers on

265 - Very heavy rain overnight and this morning, and strong winds, made me think that a shot for today would be a bit of a challenge, but after lunch the clouds cleared and the sun came out, so I went for a walk on Rawcliffe Ings. Many of the trees and bushes have now lost most or all of their leaves, but some still hang on.

This little cluster caught my eye, highlighted by the sun, so here they are.

Thank you all for the nice comments and favs for yesterdays Spiders Web shot. Your support got it onto the popular page.

@alisonp

Thank you Alison - these leaves were at just the right angle to be backlit, and so bring out the colours.

@janturnbull

Thank you Janet - it's also strange how some trees are completely bare while others manage to hang on to their leaves longer!

[Ian Fisher]

@clmiller

Thank you Caren - but Autumn has just about gone now. I'm very jealous of your temperatures, its been under 50F here today and forecasts are for it to be lower for the rest of the week.
